Introducing: Babushka Moo Markets

Featured/ markets

Babushka Moo Markets is a new and very exciting kids/babies Boutique market concentrating on the locations of the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The founders of Babushka Moo Markets have had experience with markets in the past and are doing a great job with meeting the needs of their wonderful stall holders and customers.

What will you expect on the day?

35 plus stalls
Sausage sizzle
Balloonists
Facepainter
Fairy Floss Machine
Jumping Castles
Great atmosphere
Raising Money for a wonderful cause through raffles and auctions.

How are Babushka Moo Markets looking after our stall holders?

Babushka Moo Markets will be happily supporting parents that work from home, that are crafty, talented and have great business ideas and that need a little assistance with exposure. We love supporting Australian small home businesses and will create a wonderful and fun filled day with unique products for your children. The stall holders have been carefully selected by Maria and Effie. They have made it a priority to not book too many stalls with similar products so its fair on the stall holder.

Mission

Babushka Moo Markets have a mission for our first market in December with 33 booked stalls in tow, jumping castles, face painting, balloonists, sausage sizzle and many other yummy treats. Their mission is to raise $4,000 for the Ronald McDonald House in Monash (Melbourne) to support their wonderful cause and assist with refurnishing their bedroom decor. Approximately 15 families per night use this facility and Babushka Moo Markets will be happily supporting them by raising money on this day. Babushka Moo Markets have received many generous vouchers and products from wonderful organisations which will be either raffled or auctioned off on the day. All monies raised from these and entry gold coin donations will be going back into the house.

About the Organisers:

These two busy women not only crafty, creative and love unique products but have passion with what they are organising in December. They have been stalls holders at many marvellous markets throughout Melbourne but they always wanted to see more from these organistions. Their motto is, œBelieve in your goal then you shall succeed. Dont follow your dreams, chase them. They want their stall holders to have fantastic exposure, advertsing and feedback. This is why they are taking so much time in listening to what each businesses are requesting. . œ If it wasnt for our wonderful stall holders then this event could not be possible. We believe in each and every business and their products and that is why they have been selected for our market, so we need them to believe in us also to assist with taking their businesses to the next level. All our combined efforts in advertising and organising hopefully we can deliver an awesome crowd on the day to benefit them, the charity and the name of our business which we have worked so hard for.

Introducing: RuffnTumble Kids Clothing

Featured/ Wear

RuffnTumble Kids Clothing is a Hand-made Online business located in Brisbane, Queensland, which offers high quality kids clothing at competitive prices for children aged 2 -12.

Beginning 3 ½ years ago as a small WAHM business with garments ranging from sizes 2 -8, it has recently been extended to include sizes up to 12 for both boys and especially girls, due to increasing demand.

The emphasis is on quality finishing, long lasting garments that offer something slightly different from what is available in chain stores. All garments are finished to very high quality standards, are designed, sewn and marketed by myself. Made from mostly all cotton, RuffnTumble is fast being recognised for its quality and attention to detail. We choose bright colours, fun prints, spots and stripes that kids will love to wear.

RuffnTumble presents a new range of clothing each season, which includes dresses, tops, skirts, pants and jackets for girls, and shirts, pants and shorts for boys. We also make accessories such as ties, scarves, bags and hats.

Each season, we run a competition enabling parents to enter their children into a professional photo shoot, which is published on our Facebook page, along with product images, available sizes and prices.

Our ˜likes on Facebook have gone from 34 in May to 174 currently (September) in a few months, and we now have RuffnTumble clothing in a store on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
